Shanghai notebook – Barbarossa Restaurant and Lounge

I had just over 48 hours to roam about Shanghai and came here twice. Serenely nestled on a pond (as in, the middle of the pond) in People’s Park, it’s a restaurant (primarily) on the ground floor, and a North African/Moroccan style lounge on the second. There’s a small but cozy terrace on the second level as well with fabulous views of the park and nearby skyline.

On the cigar menu:
A Montecristo #2 for 278 RMB (40 USD/33 EUR), or a Cohiba Siglo VI for 388 (56 USD/46 EUR)

Hello & Welcome!

I'm Bob Ramsak, a Ljubljana, Slovenia-based reporter, photographer and blogger driven by a lust for travel, wine, culture and justice. I have a goal to visit all 195 countries recognized by the UN and then open a small cafe and wine bar in a quiet seaside setting.

Piran Café is that destination.

In the meantime, Piran Café, occupying this space on the web since 2006, is my notebook, an ever-evolving collection of experiences, moments, images, reactions and vignettes, both long-form and short, connected and propelled by those primary passions and published here to inform, inspire, entertain and engage.

If you enjoy Piran Café, please consider supporting the site in a way that costs you nothing but earns us a small commission. Make a purchase from Amazon.com via this link and help us keep the lights on. Thanks!
